1685. Carta de Juan del Espiga, zapatero, para Gabriel de Soria, estudiante.

Author(s) Juan del Espiga      
Addressee(s) Gabriel de Soria      
In English

Letter from Juan del Espiga, a shoemaker, to his friend Gabriel de Soria, a student.

The author writes his friend Gabriel to inform him about the situation of the father of Gabriel, who has been imprisoned, and about other matters related to the inquiry started by the Inquisition against Gabriel's family.

Gabriel de Soria, son of Ambrosio de Soria, was accused of having insulted and wounded a 'familiar' of the Holy Office, Juan García Gascón. Ambrosio de Soria was implicated in the accusation, too. They were arrested, but Gabriel managed to escape, although he was soon found and imprisoned again. The families of Juan García Gascón and Gabriel de Soria had been friends for many years. When Gabriel had had an affair with a girl, Juan had helped him to resolve the situation without having to get married. Later, Juan had received a loan from the Soria family, which he had not repaid. When the Sorias demanded the money from him, he threatened them with revealing the story of the affair of Gabriel. This was the beginning of the enmity between the two families. When the nine-years-old son of Juan insulted Gabriel, this started a fight in which was involved also Gabriel's father. Eventually, Gabriel de Soria was sentenced to four years of imprisonment in Orán and eight years of banishment. These letters were seized when Gabriel was searched after he had been arrested for the second time.
